3 Cowboys Who Should Be Embarrassed by Pathetic Week 2 Performance

2. Dak Prescott - QB

Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense weren't the reason that Dallas lost, yet they didn't do anything to inspire much confidence either. The newly-minted richest QB in the league was thoroughly outplayed by Derek Carr, throwing an interception at a critical moment that required touchdowns to keep pace.

Dallas scored on its first three possessions. Typically, that's enough to put yourself in a position to win. However, the Saints jumped out to a 21-6 lead and Prescott was unable to keep the Cowboys in the game.

For a player who finished second in MVP voting last season, the performance was unacceptable. Prescott is theoretically part of the solution though couldn't rise to the challenge against what was supposed to be an inferior opponent.

All of a sudden, Dallas is looking at a potential 1-2 start pending the results of the road Ravens game. Prescott was consistently pressured throughout the contest yet couldn't overcome the deficit.

Just like in the loss to the Packers in the playoffs last year, the Cowboys got off to a terrible start and failed to overcome adversity. Prescott has to be able to deliver in these moments and failed to do so in Week 2.
